Surely there is some way to run a web, ftp and mail server without blocking
ALL incoming traffic that is not a response to an outgoing packet.? I am
actually encouraging people I don't know to come visit my web site ... yes,
total strangers with funny names and even funnier hats who eat funny food and
dance wierd! Even some who speak English as a second language!
